Our friends over at Comb and Razor have dropped an amazing debut compilation, complete with 80 page mini-magazine. If Dizzy K, Kris Okotie and Bayo Damazio ring bells, this is definitely for you. Watch the video below then head over to combandrazor to find out more.
Siji never fails to impress. His videos are visual feasts and Ijo is no different. Shot in Lagos, the video is staged as an open audition with dancers putting forth their best moves forward.
I came across this clip from the BBC program Welcome To Lagos that introduces us to Vocal Slender—an aspiring musician who collects scrap at the Olusosun dump to make ends meet.
Yesterday afternoon, I received email saying that I had been tagged in a video on Facebook. Anyone familiar with facebook knows that more often than not, you’re not actually in the video, but rather someone wants to spam you wants you to see something.
I was pleasantly surprised to see an awesome video about a yet unknown to me musician, Siji. The video promos Siji’s sophomore album project “Adesiji” that features a sharp cast of musicians and co producers including Rich Medina and King Britt.
The wonderfully chill soul sounds are a refreshing complement to his ideas on music, production and the like. Look forward to more from Siji. New album drops September 2008.
